This Wreckage

We’re going back to our supersoldier roots with Devin Zane Shaw, a professor of philosophy and the author of the book the Philosophy of Antifascism. We talk about the antifascist theory Three Way Fight, political tensions within antifascism between its militant and liberal strains, the "parapolitical" aspects of the MAGA and Covid-denialist movements, Ben Burgis' comments on Joe Rogan about the milkshaking of Andy Ngo, and if Putin is antifa.

For almost four years we've been speculating about the end of a certain period of history and hoo boy is it here!

In this part one of the thirteenth installment of HIAW, Matt and Sean return to talk about the roots of this current turbulence: What are the forces aligned for and against the 'rules-based international order'? How has the calculus of the various ruling classes changed in this zero-sum moment? Are there even good guys or bad guys to root for? And how has the seeming exit of the working class from history worked out for humanity? Not so good, it seems...

In part two we delve into the muck and mire of the XXth century, the hopes and dreams of communism, and the bitter denouement of 1991.

Jamie and Leslie (@leslieleeiii) discuss two more great vampire movies: Tom Holland's teen popcorn flick 'Fright Night' (1985) and Mel Brooks' classic horror-comedy starring Leslie Nielsen, 'Dracula: Dead and Loving It' (1995).

After the episode on Lenin's imperialism with Erin Hagood, we decided to get a different perspective on the Ukraine war and other current events with Australian anarchist-communist Matt Crossin (@MattCrossin).

How does Australia fit into the global economy and capitalist hegemony? What are the uses and limits of theories of imperialism? How are anarchists in Ukraine and Russia confronting the upheaval of war? And how might working class power be forged in this chaotic and desperate time?

Andy and Sean talk more with Erin Hagood of Platypus about our political horizons. Do we still need a Leninist party? Do the global wave of uprisings point towards revolution or the Democratic Party? Is Antifada Post-Left?
